DENIAL THAT MANY CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE IN

To ne Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Relying on your well-khown sense of justice
to all to give both sides hearing VENTURE TO reply

that the In iian Commissioner has In violation OF the
pronounced policy OF Superintendent Riley OF your
State, in charge OF the educational department OF
Indian children turned OUT the superintendent OF
Indian schools, unfortunately, substituting therefor
persons principally from Mississippi and Tennessee
who are not familiar with the character and habits of
the Indian in short, removed competent persons to

WHAT PEOPLE THINK AND SAY.


To the EdffOr Of The Tribune.
sR In reply 10 absurd rumors that have been travel
ling around the country for the last five years. and more
particularly In reply to dispatch The Ne-
York Times last Monday which an authority
the subject allow state the following facts First
the statement that Senator Sherman owns thousand
In tho First National Bank OF this city is false In
every particular; he does not share in that bank
and never has owned share In it. Second the statement
that he bonds Of the Union Pacific Railroad en-
trely false he does not any Union Pacific bonds
and has owned any Of them any stock in that
corporation Third the shares held by him in the Pitts
burg and Fort Wayne Railroad held by him In trust
jointly with General Cass and In no sense his per-
sona property therefore, the statement that he held
stock in that corporation OF 100000 Is fasehood
Fourth the statement that the Senator has between fifty
and sixty houses In Washington. besides valuable lots
etc., is not only also untrue, but displays remarkable
ingenuity In falsehood. There Is real estate agent In
Washington named John Sherman whose advertisements
houses for sale and rent prominent throughout
the city The signs upon these houses and lots are the
only conceivable foundation for such grotesQue asser
ton. The employment OF reckless persons to furnish
falsehoods for publication concerning public men not
only dscred the employer but does more to ncte class
prejudice than any other Very respectfully,
